Hi
Sounds interesting but I dont exactly understand how you "reformat",
have you got a picture or something?
Im "mixing" to, but only MOTM and dotcom. And thats no problem, only
esthetical, I´ve got one row of each in my current (DIY) cabinet.
But there are things I´d like from some of the euro format guys.
The Blacet Miniwave, a quantizer, a gate delay. (Doefer) But I´m not
much for the minijacks. And I do like big knobs.
Anybody else with good ideas in mixing small format with MOTM format.
Or should I buy Modcan? (more expensive)
